California 1889

The Arbuckles' Illustrated Atlas of the United States of America was published in 1889 and includes maps and representative scenes from each state. Beautiful Victorian imagery adorns each page.

The images were also published as "trading cards".  Customers were able to collect cards from the Arbuckle's Coffee they purchased until they, hopefully, had a complete set.

I just completed a serving tray for a customer in Oakland, California (Someone's in the Kitchen) showing the California page from this Atlas. I thought I would share it with you.

You can see all of these state images, plus many others on my website:
